- CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,871, dated April 29, 1884.

Application filed February 8, 1884. (No model.)

To all whomit may concern.-

" Be it know-n that I, JOSHUA F. TANNATT, I

of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefullmprovement in Oalendars,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. V

This invention consists in a cheap and simple calendar in which a' peculiarly slotted and perforated flat holder made of card-board or other Suitable material is used to hold by friction andsuitably expose a folded calen- 'dar-sheet, which may be printed on both holder, with-the front folded portion turned Fig. 3 is aone side or face view,

partly over. upon a reduced scale, of the calendar-sheet spread open; and Fig. 4:, asection of the folded sheet on the line as :10 in Fig. 2. v

A is the'fiat holder, having upper and lower cross-cuts, a b, for holding and adjusting the folded calendar-sheet B at its top and bottom ends by entering or sliding said ends within said cuts, thus securing an easy friction-hold of the sheet. Intermediately of these cuts a b are other parallel'cross-cuts, forming or leaving straps c d, beneath which the folded sheet is also passed, and which also assist in holding said sheet by friction. .The opening or space between these straps c d serves to expose the month of the year the calendar is designed to exhibit; and the strap d has perforations e in it, which expose the days of the week above the dates of the month on the lower part of the exposed portion of the folded sheet. Said holder intact.

may be used either face or side foremost. The calendar-sheet has the several months, with days of the week and dates to correspond, printed in several columns or tables on both sides of the sheet-that is, six months on one side or face and six months on the 5 opposite side-and the same so arranged, as shown for the one side or face of the sheet in Fig. 3, that when the sheet is folded over on the line '0, between two rows of monthly tables or columns occupying an inverted position to each other, and each containing three tables of consecutive months, and afterward shutting in these folded portions in proper order one upon the other in the lines 8 s, the calendar-sheet will be suitably folded to slide or fit to its place in the holder, and by withdrawing it and suitably exchanging the exposure of its folded portions, which are of equal size, the months exposed to view when returning the sheet to the holder will be properly changed.

By printing the tables on both sides of the sheetflpaper or stock is economized, and there is no detaching of anyportion of the sheet as the months expire, but the calendar is kept After the folded sheet has been inserted to its place in the holder, a hole, is punched through both the folded sheet and holder by which to suspend the calendar.

Advertisements, if any, may be printed on the holder, to avoid repetition on each successively-exposed portion of the sheet.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The calendar-sheet holder A, having upper and lower cross-cuts, a b, or either, and intermediate transverse incisions, forming or leaving straps 0 d, for holding the calendarsheet by friction and admitting of its adjustment, also for the successive exposure of the 0 months onthe sheet between said straps, substantially as specified. 1

2. The calendar-sheet B, having its tables of months, with days of the week and dates to correspond printed on both of its sides, and arranged to admit of a separate or consecutive exposure of the months by first folding the sheet centrally in one direction, as at o,

and afterward doubling over such folded porincisions, forming an upper strap, a, and lower tions into equal divisions upon themselves, as strap, (1, having perforations e in it, essen- 10 at s s, substantially as shown and described. tially as specified.

3. The combination of the folded sheet B H 5 having its months, days of the week, and JOSHUA FROST TANNATL dates printed in separate columns or tables on Vitnesses: both sides of the sheet, and theholder A, hav- HENRY W. BOSWORTH, ing cross-cuts a b, and intermediate transverse FRANCIS W. GOODYEAR.
